Bowmore 14 yo (2001/2016), TSC, 50 %

Review #387

This is a
single cask from cask number 31931 from the bottler The Single Cask. Only 90
bottles were made. Light white fruits, very light citrus and light peat in the
smell. Yes, light is a theme here! Some heather as well.

The peat is
the first that hits the tongue, but still light as in the smell. I also get
some mint and floral notes in the taste. The finish is warm, and some winter
spices mixes with the peat. Some citrusy notes lies behind in the background
all the way.

A classic light citrusy Bowmore. My guess would
be a refill cask, as the oak influence is very limited. You don’t get much of
all the classic flavours from the cask like vanilla, coconut and wood itself. I
will give this 84/100 (21/21/22/20).
